Welcome to the best general.
Lets talk about:
nuggets
SVT-40s
PSLs
VEPRs
SVDs
etc
or just talk about guns you wish you had
>tfw 54R is no longer the cheap rounds/guns to have
What I would do to go back and buy another 10 crates when they were cheap. I don't have enough
On the other hand I am working on a blank fire adapter for my SVD.
>>29843715
54R is still pretty cheap in the Midwest, last I checked. Of course that was three months ago, so that could've changed.
Am I a total retard for wanting a VEPR for a woods gun? 54r or .308?
>>29843715
Fuck I wish could find a Mosin in south Texas. There's plenty of 54R for sale but no mosin's at any gun store down here. FUCK
>>29843735
plz share sources
>>29843743
Na 54R is still cheaper than 308. Even new production 54R is the same price as 308
>>29843746
Never enough mosins
>>29843763
I can fucking buy 54R at 556 prices but can't find a rifle. Or any bolt action milsurp really. It's fucking maddening.
>>29843754
Depends. Where are you, Anon?
>>29843782
stalk gunbroker, I've still managed to see mosins sell for under $200 there.
I've honestly never spent more than $100 on any of mine except for my PU
but it's been a while since I've bought a mosin just because they haven't been back at the $100 range and I already have most of the ones I want. Only other one I'm probably looking to buy is a Finnish M39.
>>29843817
Yeah I probably will get a GB account soon. I was just hoping to find one locally.
>>29843833
There are a lot of gun groups forming on mewe, you could also try putting an ad up on armslist.
Best general and best trip are back finally
VEPR vs SVD vs PSL, go.
>>29843817
Do you buy all of those for investment purposes or are you really that autistic?
>>29844114
yeah had no time to make threads for a while
>>29845010
they are all different to some degree
>>29844952
The PSL and Vepr are comparable, because they both come from the Kalashnikov family of rifles. Both are based on the RPK design, and beefed up for 54R
They aren't really comparable to the SVD, however. The SVD is in it's on category of rifles, and the rifle is completely different from the other two other than the round it shoots.
When comparing the PSL to the Vepr, the Vepr has the advantage. It has a heavier barrel and they are more accurate. It seems the 20" barrels are more accurate than the longer barrels to begin with, and there's data out there that suggest that barrel whip plays a factor into that.
The PSL's long, and pencil thin barrel isn't optimal for accuracy compared to Veprs heavy barrel.
The Vepr draws more design from the RPK as they are made by Molot. As such, overall the parts are beefed up in comparison to the PSL.
The major advantage the Vepr has over the PSL is it's ability to consistently shoot heavy ball ammunition without killing itself. The PSL will beat its trunnions out, deform its bolts, and even cause receiver warping when heavy ball is pushed through it consistently. The Vepr won't have this issue.
The Vepr is also significantly cheaper than the PSL. The PSL has, more or less, started to fall into the collectors realm.
The main advantage the PSL has over the Vepr are its magazines. The Vepr only accepts single stack polymer magazines where as the PSL uses 10 round double stack metal box magazines.
The SVD, on the other hand, is better than both by large margins. It was built from the ground up as a "Sniper rifle" (soviet doctrine of snipers worked more like DMR roles we see in the west)
But the SVD was not built off any pre-existing firearm platform. It was specifically built up with it's own unique operation and design. Here's a video comparison

Flandre , I'm desperate for this thread to live and want attention. What do you think of my mosin ?
>>29847505
Bumping your own thread off of page nine? How sad. Maybe your online friends get it.
glad i bought as much 54r as i could afford, i only have maybe 6 spam cans but still.
wanted an m44 mosin though. at least i got a 91/30 that is dead on
>>29847763
My own thread ? I'm confused
>>29847505
She's pretty, anon
>>29843791
not that anon but I'm near Chicago, halp
>>29843746
Start buying that shit. In a year or so guys will be ditching their mosins for lack of ammo.
>>29847505
it's a qt, from classic? I've been wanting to get a M39 now that they are cheap, but keep putting my money into other projects
>tfw no 7.62x39 general
tfw have to make my own thread to talk about my sks
>>29848155
You... You noticed me...
It's a VKT I got from pat burns before they sold the rest to classic. You made my day :3
>>29848199
jesus christ brown nosing faggots like you make me sick
>>29848170
>sks general when?
>>29848316
Sorry that I anonymously praise another anonymous person on an anonymous image board anonymously I guess... Sorry your parents didn't love you enough
>>29848199
<3
how does it shoot with PPU?
I really need to get one soon before they sell out
There's something about them that screams sexy.
>>29848605
They got like 14,000 so I wouldn't worry about them selling out too soon m8
Although I am picking one up tomorrow
>>29848199
MFW I live 2 hours from classic and they always ship my shit in half a day
New OC. 1905 Tula that's been finn'd.

>shitting up the motherland with disgusting anime
Stalin would have you executed
>>29848811
>>29848828
>>29848842
Fuggin miring bro
>>29848605
Honestly , I have no idea. When I first took it out I didn't realize that 98lbs+7.62x54 divided by steel buttplate means a really bad flinch. Im sure it's great I'm just waiting on getting a slip on recoil pad
>>29849121
>98 pounds
Holy shit mang, how are you alive?
>inb4 skelly turbo manlet
>>29847814
>Tfw three mosins but only 1 3/4 spam cans.
The fun wont last long.
>>29843715
>Nobody has mentioned DP-28
You fucking faggots.
>>29849395
Am going to sit on my crate of x54r for now personally.
Speaking of Mosins, I'm wn route now to buy a 91/59 for my collection
>>29849257
Extremely high metabolism. I eat about 4K calories a day and I haven't gained weight. Can run real gud tho
How much is 7n1 worth? I can't find much info online about it but I have the opportunity to buy some for like 10$ a box (more of a cardboard paper wrap) is this a good deal?
>>29843715
Am I the only one that wants a single shot 54r? like a ruger number 1 or a high wall
>>29849441
You lucky fuck. Go eat some hamburgers for me. I really need to lose weight.
I haven't seen any surplus ammo in forever. The only stuff I can find is the Academy ammo at 50cpr.
>>29843715
>TFW no 54r AK
I know its dumb but I want it to be a thing
>>29849867
But that is literally what the vepr is.
>>29849867
Just buy an AR10 and walk like a man. Fuck this commie shit
>>29849901
>ar rifles
>>29849900
Its not the same man
>>29850007
In what way is it "not the same man"
>>29843715
>you will never be passed around a platoon of russian catgirl maids as the spoils of war
Truly the greatest war crime of all
>>29850078
>>29849432
A 59 was my first mosin.
To bad its a damn smoothbore.
>>29850078
Such is life on the Eastern Front.
>>29850155
Just picked it up. Strong rifling... You mean yours is worn or what?
>>29848955
Stalin would have been a furry.
Or more likely into traps.
Shot 25 rounds through this beauty while out shooting with my gf. Turns out, my nugget came from her grandpa, and he has a handful more. He has literally $120K in guns, and she is also hasguns. I'm gonna keep her <3 Oh yeah, mosins and shit. Look at my basic bitch 91/30.
Would love a Borderlands-looking x54r "assault rifle" with a revolver-style cylinder
>>29850193
Is that pic Stalin?
Jesus I'm not even gay but he looks good
>>29850167
Worn almost smooth. Didnt think to check when i bought it.
I was just amazed to find a carbine.
>>29850023
Not that anon. But i dream of a 54r vepr with 20 to 30 rnd mags.
Until then. Its different.
>>29851589
Larger round means less capacity, you can't reasonably fit 30 rounds of 54r in a magazine.
Unless you want drum mags, which I guess would be cool if impractical.
>>29850530
Yeah that is. First time I saw that I was like holy fuck
>>29851669
CSSPECS is working on 15round VEPR mags. They have a prototype currently. We wait.
>>29851134
Ah. Naw this one has good rifling. Just got it home.
Muh dick... Also for a mosin this trigger is fuckin incredible. Apparently these were given trigger jobs as well when they were chopped down.
54r general best general
i still need a crate of nugget food to fill all my cans, anyone know the best current price? or should i wait for not-russia to stop invading ukraine?
Not to mention finding an FFL to build my DPM, anyone know of a method that keeps the recoil spring in the rear of the gun? from what i can tell most people just turn it into a sortve DP-28, where they put the recoil spring in the gas tube
>>29843715
>look on Canadian gun sites
>$280 for 880 rounds of Chinese spammo
>$196 USD
Is this good? What does surplus go for down there?
>>29854541
Not that cheap, but that's because of stupid politics. Hopefully Trump will fix relations with Russia and China so we can get cheap spamcans again.
>>29843817
>no M27, M28 or M28-30
please tell me those three are on your list in addition to the glorious M39
>>29854610
Trump will make 54R great again .
>>29848657
Well they've been selling them for around 8 months now, and they're on their last shipment. I'd say they'll be sold out in the next month or two.
>>29850279
Marry her, make good friends with her grandfather, show him how much you appreciate firearms.. Down the road, you could be lucky.
>>29857633
Hmm
>>29856061
One day for sure. I've been focusing on some CZs right now
>>29851669
SGM makes a 20 round vepr mag, not sure where the best place to pick them up is though
>willingly putting shitty corrosive inconsistent ammo in your rifles
Oh lol wait I bet you think the commercial availability is just fine.
>>29859018
SGM mags are trash, unfortunately.
>>29859047
I buy commercial PPU ammo all the time
>>29859261
PPR?
My cabella's only has one slot for 54r now its depressing.
Is 7.62x54r good if I want to be an hero? I have a nugget but it's really hard trying to put the barrel in my mouth and reach the trigger? Pls help
>>29846081
Flandre senpai, what commercial ammo groups the best in your SVDs?
174gr SMKs give me some very underwhelming results compared to 7n1.
>>29859768
Use your toes. I believe in you.
Seeing as Vepr are buillt from RPK
I want to make a x54r RPK
So, anyone know if they make x54r drum mags?
Russia has many factories making 7.62x51mm
So why do they still use a a cartridge that is barely better than a black powder cartridge?
>>29843817
looking good. I also have a '43 M44 not pictured.
>>29843833
Check your local small stores. Often.
I picked my last one (Probably the last one I ever buy) for $150 this winter. Guy at the counter said he had just put it on the rack that morning.
svt are a bit more rare. buy online or wait the long wait for a local store to have one? also nj, svt is borderline legal if the bayonet lug has not been removed. [50/50 the staties confuse muzzle brake with a flash hider]
I'm a soon to be owner of an Svt-40 and was wondering if someone could give me a rundown of the best types of non corrosive ammo and the gas settings that are best suited for that ammo.
>>29863441
The gas settings depend on how worn your parts are. 1.3 seems to work fine most of the time.
I've found that copper washed brass works much better than lacquer coated which suffers from extraction issues. Russian and Bulgarian surplus have been reliable and accurate in my SVT so far.
>>29863473
How about PPu brass cased ammo? Also what Grain of bullet should I use to cause the least amount of damage to the stock?
>>29858828
Trust me I will if I can.
>>29861272
:3 it may come to that
>>29863497
Haven't used any. Use standard light ball (~150gr), you can shoot heavy ball without doing much harm since the gas is adjustable, but there really isn't much point in doing that and giving the stock any more hell than necessary.
>>29863631
Thanks for the info, My stock has a sling mount in the back just like a Mosin. Are these anymore rare because I herd they were used by the Russian naval infantry.
>>29863680
AVT profile, right? Mine's like that, too.
They are somewhat rare, but I like the thinner SVT stocks better, even though they can't take as much beating.
>>29863792
Yup Avt profile with the 6 hole muzzle break. It says it came with the original sling but I think the sling is just a standard Mosin one.
>>29862323
Because it's better
